People generally do not take in advice, sometimes, even good advice.
I start to examine myself. How often do I really take someone's advice and actually listen to their advice and not merely hearing? How often do I actually embrace it? Then, I realised, many times, I did listen but I did nothing about it. I would make up all sorts of excuses for not following the advice and worse, I debate about it. This had become a habit, a very bad habit.
